Just got the LG Thrill but forums seem dead, and not a lot being developed for this phone should I go ahead and return it and get something else?
Feedback would be greatly appreciated..

Do you like the phone? That should answer your question on whether to return it or not.
First off, this question should be in the general section as there is no "Development" going on in it.
Second, Overall, the Thrill is a great phone with Amazing potential when Gingerbread is finally released. When ICS is released, even better. I still feel that when Gingerbread hits, there will be a lot more development going on as no one wants to develop for Eclair since it will be updated in less than a month (hopefully).
With the tri-dual technology, this thing could demolish the SGS2 if given the correct software.
Yes, more development is going on over in the SGS2 forums, so you have a tough decision to make my friend.
Ya I'm a flashaholic, so seeing this forum without very much development on roms is the only thing making me second guess my purchase, the phone itself on the other hand is a very nice piece of machinery...i mean i love the phone even in its stock form...but like i said im a flashaholic and love just tinkering with my phone...not a developer at all : / though I wish i were. I'm coming from a Mytouch 4G which I had sense 3.5 Android 2.3.5...so its just a whole new world to me I guess..

Glad to see him pick one up and hopefully get us off and running. I think it's just a matter of time for dev's to realize the possibilities of 3D and this phone.
I messaged him before about developing for this phone and he said he wasn't. He's not even going to keep the phone.

Really? Damn. Can't say I'm too surprised, considering his twitter post and how unpopular this phone seems to be among devs. This thread made me reconsider returning my Thrill, but I guess I'm out
Everyone with a Thrill is still in their return window - I think the smart move is to return it and wait like a week for the GSII, or if you can wait longer, see if AT&T gets the next Nexus. Those will both get developer support for sure.
Cyanogen FTW

Even though there doesn't seem to be much for development on the Thrill so far, I am still optimistic that there will be. Just like the Atrix (which really wasn't drawing devs to it with the encrypted bootloader), they eventually came and now there are some pretty decent ROMs for it out there. They are now on cyanogenmod ROM beta 4 and looks to be pretty stable for the most part.
With the 3D capability on this, I really think that it will start drawing some. There are more and more 3D phones in the works, and if they want to get off on the right foot when even better ones come out, it would be smart of them to start off with one like the Thrill or Evo3D IMO.
Time will tell. Overall, I see good things from the Thrill in the near future.
I really hope the thrill draws some devs. Some people think the 3d is a joke, but I love it. As powerful as the GS2 is, to me it didn't have anything that new over my G2. I know its sick hardware and the super amoled+ is beautiful, but I'm going to stick it out with the thrill.
Sent from my LG-P925 using XDA App
I dont know it seems like we as a species are spoiled lol... look at us, we have a frikkin phone that is basically a PC in our hands and we are complaining. Ohhh the 3D isnt as good as hoped, it takes 12 nanoseconds longer to open that app on the thrill, what do you mean it took 5 seconds for youtube to fully load RUBBISH! Lmao if this is how we are now, we may be doomed.
Well on a lighter note, I will be sticking with the Thrill as well

Because 2.3.4 is not out for this device yet. And if you flash some random devices ROM on to your thrill its not going to work. But if you want to try and flash it. Go for it. But be fore warned, its not going to work. But if you must, flash the rom and see what happens.

Basically, that page is telling you to do something that just isn't possible at this time. In order to install CM7 (what that page is suggesting), someone will have to port it to our specific device. There are going to be things that will need drivers, recompiling, etc. before it can be installed on a Thrill.
Can we get a lock on this thread.before the flaming begins

Where's Mr. Clown when you need him?
Give the Guy a break. Everyone starts out learning like we all did. Basically the link you referenced was simply asking if it could be done, and like another poster explained a cyanogen mod would have to be created yet nobody has made one for the device yet most likely since its so new. Hope this helps.

Unfortunately LG has to build the source if you want to be able to use the 3D stuffs. We have cm7 that works but due to real3d being proprietary an aosp gingerbread build wont allow for that stuff to work.

So we can't use 3D unless LG releases that build?!?!?!?!?

Patience. Remember that this is a new phone. And the 3D application is still new so it takes a bit to get things optimized for specialized features on devices.
I believe they're making some progress on CM for the EVO3D. Should be somewhat applicable.

There is also progress being made on the Optimus 3D, which is essentially the same device as ours. Patience will pay off on this one.
OP: don't take all the angry/annoyed comments too personally, I think my first post here got the same reaction! Nobody is trying to be an asshole to you though, its just that the rules are pretty clear but there's a constant influx of new members who unknowingly break the rules and it annoys the devs that want to use this sub-forum for its intended use. Just read the rules and you'll be good

I was running some unofficial build of CM7 for a couple weeks this month, it was clearly made for the optimus 3d, not thrill, and I didn't even try using any of the 3d applications because people complained about it causing force closes... But other than that, it was extremely impressive! The speed/fluidity was incredible. I didn't like how it handled storage, but that was my first time using CM7 so I probably just need to get used to it.
Anyway, if you can go without 3d for a while, the unofficial CM7 port for optimus 3d is impressive! I think the link is on the dev forum in optimus 3d. Oh, and I personally didn't have any problems with my network data, so I'd suggest trying it out before flashing some other radio, it might not be necessary.
Can this post be moved to the "General" section yet since there's no "Development" going on in it?

The closest i got was this which doesnt seem to be official MIuI if i read it right. but hope it helps

Yeah...ik about that. Just asking if anyone is willing to provide an unofficial port. Probably not though....ics is all the rage. I wish I could do it...but I don't have the capabilities money and computing wise. Or experience because I never have had the ability and probably never will.

Depends entirely on what your experience is. There's a big difference between learning to cook having never cooked a thing in your life, and learning to cook French cuisine if you're already a master sushi chef.
I'll play it safe and say I've never cooked a thing in my life, but my dad is also a system engineer and could help if I needed it. I'd rather learn without his help.

Start with an RUU. Run the RUU on your PC. Stop at the first screen after it's done loading, don't proceed, but don't close the window. Start/Run and type %TEMP% and hit enter (this will take you to your user temp folder). Sort the folders by date and open the newest. Here you should find Rom.zip. Use this as your base ROM in the kitchen. Root it, deodex it (or not), zipalign it, etc - and you end up with a flashable ROM from an RUU
I'm taking this idea from timmytim over in the tf300t forums (we need a bootloader adjustment, he made the bounty and xplodwild fulfilled it).to be working for the tf300t, ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1942369) so I thought we may as well try it here.
I personally pledge $20 to whomever is able to port/create an ICS or JB rom for the Revolution. Devs, please help us. There are many of us left here with this fantastic, but under-supported device. If you can help us, we'd be happy to return the favor.
If you too are cursed with not having enough $ to upgrade etc (or don't want to buy new hardware to replace fully functioning equipment), please pledge to donate to a dev (real pledges only please).
and for those that doubt. If you think this is a hopeless endeavor, if you believe this phone is dead (which many do), then you may as well pledge some $. There is nothing to lose. If we finally get the development we need, it will certainly be worth as much as a paper toss game in the play store. and besides, devs need our thanks in general (I'm considering building a retroactive bounty for Mt).
PS: PG, if you pull off your CM port, this hopeful bounty is all yours.
Lets try and revive this guys. It's a solid phone, it just needs a little love (and google now).
I'll keep track of the pledges in post #2
Reserved for tracking total etc.
